Typical Hoodie: New Prototype Trailer

Share this:

Each new Prototype trailer has us giggling like children at the gorish ludicrosity of it all. Running up the sides of buildings, caving in heads on the sides of buildings, throwing cars at helicopters, morphing into a giant fisted madman. These are just some of the things we do when we’ve watched them. A little joke for you there. Below is the latest trailer, which gives you a top 10 reasons why you should want to play it. And frankly, they had us with “Projectile Dysfunction”.

Kieron had a little play of it last month, and you’d do well to read his impressions here. Looking at the footage, it’s hard to imagine how this Hulk-meets-Rampage open city madness could be anything other than fun, and Kieron had a great time with it. It’s still a few months away, but is due to arrive in June – the perfect timing for a summer blockbuster nonsense-fest.

Because then you can enter your tank and win in the games optional “prettiest tank” contest that unlocks the games tank customization which lets you change between the three different shades of green on the turret!

Yes yes, being able to blow up a tank, or steal it is quite awesome. But did anyone else see the bit where you steam a guy’s appearance, then point a finger at someone else and accuse THEM of being you? As that was the best part.

Jesus, I was looking forward to this, but frankly, those running animations put me off it all together. I really hope they get changed before release.
Maybe I’ve just been spoiled by GTA 4’s animation (which, incidentally, plays beautifully on my two machines).

Looks a bit too violent for my taste. It’ll be interesting to see if there is any gameplay depth beyond the spectacular visual element.

As an aside, I’m wondering if there will be a PC outrage about this game. To me it would seem a much more obvious target than RE5, but I’m often wrong about these things. If there is, what will be the angle?

This looks extremely fun. The beginning somehow felt a bit weird, though. Then, when he hijacked the helicopter, I realized it. This somehow seems a lot like Mercs 2. I liked Mercs 2, but only played about 20 hours before I stopped. I have a feeling this will be much, much better, though.

Fuck yes, this is continuing to look like a worthy followup to Hulk: Ultimate Destruction, but the bit that got me with this trailer is the Patsy, that was absolutely brilliant and I have a feeling I’ll be doing that a lot!

Kotaku gave this a run over on their site as well, and I have to say that the comments over there are almost enough to make me cry. Gigantic, sprawling threads filled to the brim with people completely missing the point of this game and busily congratulating each other on how smart they are.

One person actually complained about how the windows aren’t transparent and that the player isn’t able to see the inside of every single building. It’s a complaint so grounded in fantasy that I have grasping even the idea that he might think about whining about it.
